Hemyock Primary School
About Hemyock Primary School
Hemyock Primary School sends out a strong signal to parents: in the 2025/26 admissions round, it was oversubscribed, with 27 applications for 23 places and 22 of those coming as first preferences. That works out to an oversubscription ratio of 1.17, meaning more families wanted a spot than there were spaces available. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership, early years provision, and behaviour and attitudes. That’s a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2011, which had judged the school as Requires Improvement. With a headteacher in Chelsea Mann and a nursery provision for children as young as two, the school clearly appeals to local families looking for a stable, well-regarded primary option in Mid Devon.
